Chapter 157: The Legend of the Taiyin Fruit 4
At the beginning of the year, it is like the new moon on the first day of the new year, which is almost invisible; After three or four hundred years, it will grow into a moth eyebrow moon,—— like a slender silver hook; In seven or eight hundred years, it became the first quarter moon, like a half moon; Fifteen hundred years later, it was just round, like a full moon.
At this time, the Taiyin fruit was only light yellow, only a little bigger than the copper coin. It can be eaten, there is no bitter taste, sour and sour, and it is extremely crispy.
After 2,000 years, the Taiyin fruit gradually began to turn dark yellow, forming a half-moon, like the last quarter moon; The full maturity period is 2,953 years, and the shape of the fruit is like a moth eyebrow-shaped moon bud,—— that is, the waning moon, with its back arched towards the rising sun, and its color is as red as blood.
The Taiyin fruit only grows in Yaocheng Yushan in the southern wilderness.
It is covered with snow all year round, and there is no sunlight all year round.
Taiyin fruit tree set innate yin qi condensed and grow, a hundred years an inch, a thousand years a foot, ten thousand years a zhang, grow to ten zhang before stopping to grow tall, after being able to bloom and bear fruit.
It is said that the light yellow Taiyin fruit, which has grown for 1,500 years and is shaped like a full moon, eats the body and is light, and becomes a demon, or a spirit; After eating the dark yellow Taiyin Fruit shaped like the lower quarter moon, those who have a spell can increase their cultivation and speed up their cultivation; After eating the fully ripe Taiyin Fruit, cultivating to a higher level, and reaching the peak of his own level of mana, it can be said that he has reached the peak and is extremely strong.
It's just that Taiyin fruit trees don't grow easily.
The growth environment is special, and it can only survive in the snow, and cannot see a ray of sunlight. More than 100,000 years ago, the climate abruptly changed and the heat was abnormal, which caused a large amount of snow to melt in Yaocheng Yushan, and the number of places where the sun shone increased, and a large area of Taiyin fruit trees died.
Now there are only a dozen or so Taiyin fruit trees left over from ancient times.
The fruit grows very slowly. There are very few Taiyin Fruits that can grow to two thousand nine hundred and fifty-three years to fully ripen, and there are no more than hundreds.
After the Taiyin fruit is ripe, Yaocheng will hold a grand Taiyin fruit feast. The invited guests are people with distinguished status in the Southern Wilderness Realm,—— that is to say, those who are qualified to taste the Taiyin Fruit are only people with noble status in the Southern Wilderness Realm.
Half of the ripe Taiyin fruit is used for the Taiyin fruit feast, and the other half is used to refine the elixir.
It is said that taking the elixir refined from the Taiyin Fruit not only increases cultivation, accelerates the speed of cultivation, restores mana, and impacts the bottleneck, but also can clear depression through the nine orifices, dispel illness and prolong life.
More than 400 years ago, Hua Xiluan once went to Yaocheng with Yu Tianyu.
Although Yu Tianyu was not treated well by his grandfather, he was the eldest grandson of the emperor after all, and his status was noble, so he was treated by Feng Erniang, the lord of Yaocheng City.
While talking and laughing in the main hall, I accidentally saw a maid holding a white jade plate, which contained more than a dozen Taiyin fruits that had grown for more than 2,000 years and formed a half moon and turned dark yellow.
When Yu Tianyu saw it, his eyes immediately lit up.
Xi Zizi said: "Feng Erniang is really generous, and even used the Taiyin Fruit to entertain us." ”
Feng Erniang glanced at him and said unceremoniously: "You are daydreaming!" Don't say it's you, even if your imperial grandfather arrives, you don't have this treatment. ”
Only then did Yu Tianyu know that he had made a mistake.
Immediately embarrassed, he laughed dryly. However, he still couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "My grandfather didn't have this treatment, so who has this treatment?" ”
Feng Erniang said: "Princess Yi." ”
